for a long time it's felt like the courts have been the bulwark against the Trump administration, right?

Especially in the immediate aftermath of inauguration day, right?

They're preventing executive overreach, the hollowing out of federal agencies, but that I think thinking that the courts are always there as a fail safe doesn't really hold up.

I mean, New York, New York times report recently found that, that Trump's the, the appellate judges that he has picked are,

have ruled in his favor 112 times compared to the 13 times they have ruled against him.

So give me your big picture analysis on how the courts are functioning here in terms of where they've slowed or blocked his agenda and where they've ultimately given him a hall pass.

In the after times when he's no longer president and there's a truth and reconciliation committee and we begin to rebuild our democracy.

You'll hear a little bit more from Leah in one quick sec.

But first, on the latest episode of my show, Runaway Country, I interview Michael Moore, the former chief of police for the L.A.

Police Department.

He offers some very interesting and I'm going to say controversial perspective on how law enforcement is looking at the events of last week and understanding what exactly happened to Renee Nicole Good.

And then The Bulwark's Tim Miller joins me to question the parallel realities Americans appear to be living in despite ample video footage and even in cases of life or death.

We take visits from Earth 1 to Earth 2.

Tune in to Runaway Country wherever you get your podcasts or check it out on YouTube.

I just want to get your thoughts, since I have you here as our legal eagle, on some really high-profile cases that are making their way through the courts.

On Tuesday, SCOTUS weighed in for the first time on trans athletes participating in women's sports.

And for years, most of those decisions have been left to state and local organizations, right?

But the Trump administration is pushing to make the ban a federal issue.

And some sources say that justices appear inclined to uphold it.

I can't imagine.
